Just called DOS for the 1st time...They said our date of eligibility was May 5th (although Montreal received it on the 1st...oh well!)so I guess I should recalculate and count the 6 weeks from May 5th...we'll see.

How can I be added to the spreadsheet?

I asked a couple of days ago if anyone still had editting priviledges to the spreadsheet, if no one still does I might try and make a new one on Monday.

I think July Bride was editing the document... I know we are not on there because we were over enthusiastic about our timelines (okay, me) and we each filled one in and then I linked mine - so it confused the system & my pestery PMs have gone unanswered. So, if the spreadsheet happens again, let me know and I'll fill in all our info. :D

Hopefully it won't be much longer :star:

Alright! Here's the list for the next while until we start getting interview dates! Whether or not we get a date, let's keep each other updated on YES or NO for each of the days we've volunteered to call the DOS.

HAPYCLOUD: MONDAY

TORONTO GUY: TUESDAY

SPARKY&ME: WEDNESDAY

KRISTINL: THURSDAY

RUBY_MTL: FRIDAY

Next weekend I'm going to go visit the love of my life until the stupid interview gets scheduled. I'm sick of waiting for this B.S. to finish. Nonetheless, I will still call on the day I said I would and report back to the forum.

We’re thinking about doing the same thing, we’re sick of being separated and I’m in limbo here anyhow because I left my job way too soon thinking that I’d be in the US already. I’m hesitant to try to enter with no return ticket though - and I can’t buy the ticket until I know the interview date so I’ll probably hold off. Let us know how it goes at the POE.

I am not sure exactly how accurate this data is because it hasnt been updated in over a month but I think that based on the lack of interviews scheduled for May, that May is another February with like only a small number of dates. Maybe everyone decided to book their holidays for this month and they are severely understaffed. Im kinda kicking myself for not pestering for another p3 more when my first one never arrived, otherwise if I would have actually gotten the first one I might have actually had a date by now...

Hey there! This spreadsheet is definitely outdated. I've got the task of getting it back up to date and I've got the original file from the original creator... so that will be my task for this upcoming week! I'll be checking back in here to get everyone's dates! :)

We will! I (USC) am going up there and bringing him back. he won't have a return ticket either. Someone told me today in another thread that they crossed without a return ticket - they did it by car and said they'd be returning in January, then bought their bus ticket while in the US.

We'll post our experience for sure. :-)

Hi everyone. I just want to double check about the police certificate. Is it name check only? Or does Montreal require the fingerprint check? Thanks!

Name check only, unless the person has a criminal background then I believe you need to supply fingerprints.

Oh and even more confusion. We looked at the website and there seems to be 3 different checks they can do!

* Copy of a Police Report

* Criminal Records Check

* Police Records Check

Which one??? Thanks for the help!

Criminal Records Check! :thumbs: And make sure its Canada wide if you are getting it from a local police station opposed to the RCMP.

You can call your local PD and ask what locations issue background checks. I got mine down the road at our local police office, it's the RCMP Canada wide one. Cost $40 and took 10 min

Good luck :)

I'm sorry for missing your name AmberL! Do you think you could call Thursdays then? Both Kristin and I are the same file. This way, all of us will be calling DOS once per week. Let us know if you are able and willing for Thursdays....

:)
